In many cities in America, private companies threaten cities demanding that they get paid to expand, or else they’ll leave.
Comcast demanded they get city investments to expand wifi to more of the city and even promised free wifi to public places. And after millions of city dollars given, they said, “nevermind”.
Government should be for the people not for the corporations
But your not thinking of the poor poor oil execs whom won’t get their return on their
bribeinvenstment made to their super PAC.Super PACs are so 2012. In 2024 SCOTUS ruled that officials are allowed to accept “gratuities” so long as they don’t directly say it’s a bribe.
Unless it’s for the President. Then they can just say it’s a bribe.
I forgot about those rulings. This SCOTUS is really set to mess up a lot in the coming decades. Hopefully, it can be reigned sooner rather than later
Is that a regional way to say guillotined?
